the u.s. unemployment rate of 7.9% which is actually even higher than my home state is for sure too high, but it is far better than the rate of 26% unemployment in spain and greece, the record of 16% unemployment in portugal. our 2.3% growth rate may seem inadequate and it is, but as we recover from the deepest recession we've seen since the great depression, it is much better than the negative growth rates in the countries that took the austerity path. the results are clear -- the evidence is in from the austerity experiments. the countries that cut the deepest have hurt the most. if we want to continue growing our economy and creating jobs, we need to resist the european path that is championed by republican austerity advocates. we need to maintain the balanced approach that has brought the u.s. economy up out of recession. admittedly not fast enough, but look at what the alternative has been. leader reid's bill would replace the indiscriminate cuts of the so-called sequester with targeted c

make no mistake the u.s. military will take all necessary steps in nader's security commitment to the republic of korea and to our regional allies. i was pleased yesterday the u.n. security council condemned north korea's actions. this is a strong first step as we work to increase the pressure on the regime with the sanctions and new steps that we hope to take with regards to our presence in that area. turning next to the state of the union address, i was very pleased that the president made clear that the lemming budgetary cuts could really jeopardize military readiness and as you know, my deputy, ash carter and joint chiefs of staff have been on the this week making a very strong case for why we need to resolve the second south of the decreases. average again strongly urge the congress to heed these warnings. as i said last week, this is not a game. this is reality. the fact is that even as i speak, people are being hurt. people are being hurt by the vegan uncertainty that this country is now living under.
